The first piece of correspondence from our webpal (internet penpal... new word? or used before?), armchair correspondent Anthony Samuelson, mentioned the 'military experts' all over the Western media. Well you haven't seen the ones appearing on the Arab media.
Example: When the airport was taken, one of them said that neither Iraq nor the US can use the airport. The next day, a US C-130 landed.
Yesterday they were discussing why the Iraqi army was defeated. Blaming it on the tactics, the decision making and other unlikely explanations. They did not mention the Iraqi army's equipment, the training of the soldiers, and their morale. Nor the fact that they were fighting the Superpower.
I remember at the end of the last (2nd) Gulf War, some US soldiers had scribbled graffiti on an Iraqi tank: SOVIET JUNK.
